the legend
The legend.
The part of a map which explains its symbols are called legends/map symbols.
Symbols are used on maps because they simplify complex information, allowing for easier interpretation and understanding of spatial relationships. Real objects can be too large or varied in size to accurately represent on a map, while symbols can convey essential details without cluttering the visual space. Additionally, symbols can be standardized, enabling consistency across different maps, which aids in communication and navigation.
maps help us to look at the earth and to gain a better understanding of it from maps. maps can also help to see where you are or going. maps are for seeing things from a birds eye view.Maps also help you find new and old areas/places.

The legend.
The part of the map that contains information on what the symbols mean is called the key or the legend. Often, modern maps that we look at online don't have this essential part of the map, since these maps are easier to look at and understand than paper maps made earlier.
The legend of the map also contains important information and all of the thematic symbols of the map. Symbol that need no explanation, or do not coincide with the theme of the map, are normally omitted from the map legend. Thematic symbols directly represent the maps theme and should stand out. Hope this helps!! :-)
